Episode 2142: System Or Superstar, The CR7 Handbrake, Liver Thriller, Barca Spiral
Do the teams built around systems – Man City and Liverpool, for example, have a clear advantage over teams such as PSG, Madrid and Man United that are built around superstars?
Miguel Delaney and Jonathan Wilson join us to talk about the Liver thriller, Ronaldo the handbrake, Koeman’s huge task at Barca and what an exciting week of CL action it has been.
Why does Miguel fancy Liverpool to win the competition this year? And what would Jonathan advise Joan Laporta to do to get Barcelona back to the top?
Plus there’s Pep’s 11, budget Superman and letting go of “Let It Flow”.
